2.2 Receiver
There are two versions of the mirage receivers I and II. Please select the description fitting to
your set. Differences are noted respectively.
2.2.1 Front Panel
I II
LED red
The green LED (light emitting
diode) on the receiver front
panel does not light immediately after connecting the device to
the power supply ("power
LED"), but only after the installation of programs is completed
(either via RAPS or via program
scan), and a video signal is
routed to the TV set.
If you plug the power cord for
the first time, the LED lights up
only after installation. During
later operation the receiver’s
program list already exists; it
takes just a few seconds from
inserting the power plug until
you see the green LED.

creasing or when the receiver no longer reacts to all commands.
When not used for prolonged periods of time, batteries may leak.
Remove batteries from the remote control if it is not used for long
periods of time (> 1.5 years).
When replacing batteries, always replace all batteries.

5.2.1 Update via USB
If you have Internet access, you should update your receiver via the USB interface.
1. Search for the upgrade file on the internet page www.avanit.tv (menu item Support).
2. If the version number of the update file matches with the version number of the software
of the receiver, which is displayed in the submenu Information of the menu Tools, you
do not need to do anything else. Your receiver is up to date. Otherwise continue with
step 3.
3. Save the update file to a USB data storage.
4. Unpack the file with the ending .abs.
5. Connect the data storage to your receiver.
6. In the menu Tools, select the sub-menu Upgrade by USB and press the OK key.
7. At Upgrade Mode, select the upgrade mode Allcode by using the keys und .
8. At Upgrade File, select the file copied in step 2.
9. Select the Start button and confirm by pressing OK.
A message saying that you will lose all personal settings will be displayed.
The upgrade will be performed after selecting
pressing OK. Then, the receiver will automatically perform new start.
Please note that the upgrade file (*.abs) is copied directly to the root

5.4.1 RAPS Start
Your receiver is equipped with RAPS. RAPS means Receiver Automatic Programming System. RAPS can automatically update the channel lists of your receiver.
What is RAPS?
Currently, the satellites Astra 19.2° and 23.5°, Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East, Eurobird 9° and
Turksat 42° offer a four-digit number of digital TV and radio channels.
At delivery, state-of-the-art satellite receivers have all important channels already stored. But
what happens after that? New and interesting channels are added almost weekly, and there
are channel changes time and again.
Updating the channel list with a present receiver is not quite easy for most users. When
performing a channel search, invalid data are not deleted, and usually the new channels are
just added at the end of the list; this requires time-consuming reprogramming of the channel
list.
The RAPS system of your receiver automatically performs such programming work.
The window RAPS Automatic Installation is the second window of the installation process.
Every time you switch off your receiver, RAPS checks whether there are any changes with
the channel lists (RAPS scan). This only takes a few seconds.
In case of changes, the new data are automatically included into the new channel list (RAPS
download) and displayed in a table. If a channel changes the receive parameters, then this is
Deutsch
[German].
17
Page 18
Basic Operation
During installation, the
third installation window
automatically updated by RAPS. In case of new channels, such channels are added. If channels are permanently discontinued, then the corresponding channel number is deleted.
However, new channels are not only added, but allocated to logic blocks, correspondingly
enabling easier finding. That is why certain areas may remain free. Example: For Germany,
there is the basic list as well as the areas Third Channels, Info + Sports, Special Interest,
Local TV, as well as News starting at channel number 100 and many Music Channels starting
at channel number 123.
You can cancel RAPS installation by pressing the key EXIT whilst the countdown of
RAPS installation is running (and also at a
later point in time during installation).
The then displayed channel list is a preprogrammed factory list. However, such list is not
updated via satellite due to cancelled RAPS installation!
The respective up-to-date RAPS lists are available via the satellite Astra 19.2°. Correspondingly, RAPS can only be used within the footprint of the satellite Astra 19.2°; furthermore,
your system should be suitable for digital Astra receiving.

Press OK to deselect a marked satellite.
Press to go to the next window RAPS select raps file.
Examples:
• Your antenna system is designed for receiving Astra 19.2°E and Hotbird 13°E. These
satellites are found and marked in the list. You are planning to soon extend your antenna
system for receiving of Eurobird 9A 9°E. You can additionally mark Eurobird 9A 9°E already now to avoid repeated installation in the future.
• Your antenna system is designed for receiving Astra 19.2°E and Türksat 42°E. However,
the receiver in the children's room should only receive the German channels. For this,
manually deselect Türksat 42°E (found by RAPS-DiSEqC scan).

10 Operation in a Unicable System
10.1 About Unicable
The HDTV receiver allows for changing the receiving mode to the unicable standard. This
makes it possible to connect several independent receivers (up to 12 - depending on the
used system) to only one main line.
For this, an own IF channel and a corresponding frequency should be set for each receiver
via the settings menu.
Allocation of channels and frequencies depends on the used LNBs and/or multi-switches.
The data sheet and the technical documentation of your LNB and/or multi-switch include an
allocation table similar to the following table.
19
CEC = Consumer Electronics Control = HDMI feature for entertainment units, provides via HDMI various
control functions, e. g. "one touch recording" or "system standby". The TV set is the control center and
the TV remote control becomes the remote control of the whole system.
